Hi,
I want to have a link on my WordPress site called ‘Forum’ in the navigation bar. When clicked on all i want is a simple forum like on wordpress.org and similar to this forum here.
How easy / hard is this to do? People have told me its a nightmare to do with bbpress and an existing theme.
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Paul
There won’t be loads, but I’m confident there will be a few. But more importantly there will be documentation on how to adapt existing themes. This is where child themes come in really handy.
WordPress has themes, and bbpress as a pluggin will have themes aswell?
Why not “copy” simple:press “aproach” to this… the forum is displayed on a wordpress page, no fidling with themes, if bbpress was a standalone software like it was untill now its logical to have themes, but in my opinion having themes for a pluggin its to much… my 3 cents anyway…

Is this true? the new version will use is own themes? if the next version is a wordpress pluggin, having its own themes its kind of odd.
Now I’ll read as many docs I can, but I would suggest bbPress documentation editors to write in an explicit way
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/
if the existent WordPress theme is automatically applied or if this is not possible, if it must be hacked or what ever 
Thank you

Dear friends, from my perspective, integration is mainly meant as sharing and or apply the existent WordPress theme to my brand new bbPress forum.
“users sharing” is not my first issue, I could also say I don’t even care about sharing users, to be true, in my personal case I don’t want forum users to act in my blog.
Now, what about my customized WP theme?
How to use it with bbPress?
How to integrate bbPress theme with my customized wordpress theme?
Thank you for any tip, link and or instruction.

You mean you are redirected to WordPress dashboard when you click any submit button in bbPress dashboard?

You can add your input on the bbPress Forum Profiles over in the relevant Trac Ticket JJJ opened a few days ago, I already added my own thoughts back then too, but in general the ”framework” is there with the WordPress Profile, it might just need a little extra stuff! https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1364
Hi,
I’ve been very careful with a fresh install of bbPress and testing functionality at each step of integrating with WordPress. I have the problem narrowed down to this code snippet that goes into the bb-config.php file:
/* Deep integration */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') && !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')){
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-blog-header.php' );
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 All rosy");
}
No feedback yet (it was Thanksgiving Day yesterday after all) but I hope this will help you, help me.
Best Regards, Karl

gswaim, test it out and see if it does what you want – I’d be inclined to say yes.

I update every few days, so it is fairly upto date.
Hi,
I hope someone can help me here, I’ve tried Googling and searching this forum but haven’t been successful in finding an answer.
WordPress 3.01 using TwentyTen theme
bbPress 1.02 using modified Kakumei theme.
Single database with additional chars added to table names (e.g. wp_obscure_)
I integrated WordPress and bbPress by following this tutorial by Ashfame.
I can access the bbPress Dashboard but I cannot make any changes to the Settings or (more importantly) add new Forums or sub forums – I am redirected to the WP dashboard when I press the “Add Forum” button (or similar submit elsewhere).
Naturally, I can’t be going into the database each time a new forum is required.
Best Regards, Karl
@ Rich: All the other plug-ins show up fine.
@ CitizenKieth: I am using cyberduck for my uploads, I never had a problem like this before.
I have also tried to install bbpress on 3 other wordpress websites of mine and it does not show either, they are all on the same hosting company, and they all have the latest wordpress.
I’d totally agree if there was built in functionality within WordPress for image uploads by subscribers… which there isn’t.
hence better served by a plugin

Hi Rich
I understand that argument for as the standalone versions, but if the functionality is already there to use in wordpress, why not use it as default?

Any word yet on when we are going to see some type of integration or plugin?? I’m dying to find out. Also, Is there any easy way to integrate bbpress into my current wordpress site without having to learn bbpress code to make it look seamless? I actually love learning but don’t have the time right now, 5 sites in 6 months…
Hey, this looks great. I just installed a new wordpress site. And would really like integrated forums. Could someone give me a more step by step guide to getting this working. I have yet to install bbpress. Thanks!
I’m having the same issue described above, after following an identical installation. Clearing my cache does not resolve the problem.
Does the current release of BBPress actually integrate with the current release of WordPress?

as the plugin will be using WordPress functions, will it include image upload/image tags or will that be a plugin?
